"Oh no, General Xiahou is dead" "General Xiahou Miaocai was shot to death" In an instant, the news of Xiahou Yuan's death exploded in the Cao army, like thunder on the ground, which made the Cao army inside and outside Xuchang fall into a state of confusion, and the army's morale quickly weakened, and the fighting spirit was low.
Before Xiahoudun died, Cao Wei had three major generals, namely the hussar general Xiahoudun, the chariot cavalry general Cao Ren, and the cavalry general Xiahou Yuan.
In terms of martial arts, the Xiahou brothers are naturally inferior to top generals like Jia Fu and Yingbu, and it is even difficult to look at the backs of Dian Wei and Xu Chu, but the impact of a military general on the morale of the army and even on the country is by no means measured by force alone.
Just like Li Jing's influence cannot be inferior to Li Cunxiao, Yue Fei's influence cannot be inferior to Gao Zhong, so the impact of Xiahou Yuan's death on the morale of Cao's army is really immeasurable, making this team that still has the strength to fight quickly collapse and fall into a panic "Who shot General Xiahou who killed him" Han Baohu, who was in the middle of the formation, got the news, and hurriedly led dozens of cavalry to rush away from the crowd and go straight to the foot of the city wall to check, facing Xiahou Yuan's gradually stiffened corpse, and roared hysterically at the city wall.
The war horse that lost its owner sneezed in confusion and wagged its tail helplessly, Xiahou Yuan's corpse was facing the sky on its back, motionless, and the feather arrows that penetrated the entire brain trembled in the wind, and the eagle swayed in the wind, making a "squeeze" sound, as if singing a lamentation Admiral Da Wei's eyes were wide open, lying on the ground without dignity, no different from ordinary soldiers killed in battle, but a pair of eyes refused to close.
"It's me, it's me who shot Xiahou Yuan" Xue Rengui stepped forward from behind the battlement, letting the whistling north wind blow the tassels on his helmet flying up and down, and the battle robe hunted like a majestic god of war.
Han Baohu's eyes flashed with hatred, he clenched his silver spear, and roared: "Xue Rengui is really you, you are really obedient to the Great Wei, you are really a deceitful villain."
Xue Rengui laughed loudly at the head of the city: "Haha, I, Xue Rengui, was born as a Han Chen, and died as a Han ghost, how could I do this bitter drama of treason and treason to lure Cao Cao into the finalists, but I didn't expect to deceive Xiahou Yuan, a substitute for the ghost, what a pity."
Xue Rengui bent his bow and arrow again as he spoke, pulling the clouds and smoke like a full moon, shaking his hand and shooting an arrow at Han Zhuhu: "You are a traitor and a traitor, and you will eventually turn into ashes."
The arrow from the string broke through the air with the sound of the whistling wind, as fast as a meteor, as fast as lightning, but fortunately, Han Baohu was prepared, and hurriedly leaned over the horse to dodge, but was still hit by an arrow in the helmet, and his soul was frightened.
Xue Rengui put the clouds and smoke on his back, touched the thunder and green dragon halberd, turned over and stepped on the red rabbit horse, and roared: "Ladies and gentlemen of the Han family, I, Xue Rengui, am deeply favored by the emperor, how can I betray the Han and surrender to Wei This betrayal of the Han Dynasty and Wei is a bitter plan planned by me, Your Majesty and Zhuge Kongming, in order to lure Cao Cao to Xuchang, give him a turtle in an urn, close the door and beat the dog."
Most of the Han troops on the city wall were kept in the dark, and when they saw Xue Rengui suddenly shoot Xiahou Yuan with an arrow, a big question mark appeared in their minds, and their faces were full of confusion And this time he was suffering from the routine, everyone followed him as a thief because they trusted Xue Rengui; And now he has turned into a loyal minister again, without such a routine, so whether everyone is a loyal minister or a traitor The soldiers are all dazed, wanting to cry without tears Xue Rengui also understood the worries of the soldiers, and raised the Qinglong halberd loudly to appease the army: "Soldiers and soldiers, rest assured, you follow the general to Wei, firstly, out of trust in the general, and secondly, because of helplessness, so you can ignore the past."
And with your cooperation, Ben will be able to successfully deceive Cao Wei Junchen, and you are not only innocent but also have great merit."
Listening to Xue Rengui's words, the Han army on the city wall was like taking a reassuring pill, and the army's heart quickly rose, and a cheer broke out: "Great, we can be the Han army again, kill, kill the Wei thief" With the wave of Xue Rengui's green dragon halberd, thousands of arrows on the city wall were fired together, and the rain shot down the city wall, and countless Cao soldiers suddenly turned on their backs, and countless people fell to the ground with arrows.
Han Baohu hurriedly drew his sword in his hand and ordered loudly: "The whole army retreats, preparing to break through in the direction of Qiaojun" Xu Da led nearly 90,000 horses from the direction of Chenliu, Zhuge Liang's corps came from Song County in the east, Xue Rengui should join forces, and then if he wanted to forcibly enter Xuchang, he could only sit and wait for death, and the best choice at present could only be to quickly break through and get rid of the entanglement of the Han army and withdraw to Qian County.
"Retreat, withdraw the troops" Cao's army was in chaos, and Xiahou Yuan's personal soldiers braved the dense rain of arrows to snatch Xiahou Yuan's body back with shields, placed them on horseback, and followed Han Baohu to retreat to Qian County.
The front of the 30,000 Cao army changed to the rear, Xia Luqi rode his horse and speared to open the way in front, Han Baohu led the rear of the palace, and ordered to shout Shan Xiongxin in the city to lead the troops out of the city to avoid being trapped in the city by the Han army, "General Shan, Xue Rengui is a fraudulent surrender, please speed up the department to go out of the city" Shan Xiongxin, who was stationed at the south gate of Xuchang, heard the shouts of a tsunami from the north gate, and hurriedly sent his henchmen to investigate, and soon turned back, and rolled off his horse in a panic: "General Qiqi, the big thing is not good, Xue Rengui's surrender is fake, and it is true to lure our army into the shortlist, and" Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but gasp when he heard this: "And what" "And General Xiahou has already been shot to death," Shan Xiongxin's henchman replied with a slush, horror written on his face.
"What, General Xiahou was martyred" The muscles on Shan Xiongxin's face twitched slightly, and he looked sad while being shocked, the hound must eventually go up the mountain to mourn, and the general will inevitably die in front of the battle, so this is the case.
A partial general rushed his horse in a hurry, and greeted Shan Xiongxin loudly: "General Shan, the big thing is not good, General Xiahou has died in battle, Han Baohu and General Xia Luqi are leading their troops to break through in the direction of Qian County, let's follow later, if the city is surrounded by the Han army, no one will be able to leave."
Shan Xiongxin's only remaining right arm lifted the gold-topped jujube yang lance, turned over his horse, and shouted: "Pass my order, the whole army quickly left the city from the east gate, and followed the two generals Han and Xia to retreat in the direction of Qian County."
Shan Xiongxin gave an order, the Cao army in the city was in a mess, scrambling to retreat along the city wall to the east gate, because the city wall was narrow, for a time there was no room for many people to flee for their lives, more people had to go down the stairs down the city wall, swarming to the east gate to flee.
Shan Xiongxin looked tragic, rode his horse and led the panicked deserters to run towards the east gate of Xuchang, and when he was about to arrive at the east gate, he suddenly bumped into Yu Ban, and couldn't help but spit fire in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be angry.
"This thief treasoned first, and then colluded with Xue Rengui to surrender later, killing General Miaocai, not to mention, 50,000 soldiers are even more uncertain, I should get rid of this thief" As soon as he thought of this, Shan Xiongxin clenched the Zaoyang lance with one hand, like a cheetah about to sprint, ready to go, but on the surface, he shouted quietly: "In front is General Wen Ze" Yu Ban panted and hit the horse to meet him, shook his head and sighed: "General Shan, the big thing is not good, it turns out that Xue Rengui used a trick to lure my army into the shortlist, and General Xiahou has been shot to death by him, alas, he is really shameless to face His Majesty and the Great Wei soldiers." ” "What are you talking about, I can't hear clearly" Shan Xiongxin tilted his ears sideways, looking puzzled.
Yu Ban had no choice but to ride his horse forward and approach Shan Xiongxin, shouting at the top of his voice: "I said that Xue Rengui's surrender is false."
Suddenly, the golden light flashed, and the gold-topped jujube yang lance in Shan Xiongxin's hand stabbed out like a poisonous snake, piercing Yu Ban's chest with lightning speed, piercing the armor at once, from the front chest to the back and out, blood gushing out, instantly dyed Yu Ban's robe.
Yu Ban fell to the ground suddenly, struggling hoarsely in his throat: "Why did Shan kill me?"
Shan Xiongxin gritted his teeth, raised his hand and pulled out the long lance that pierced Yu Ban's body, and the red blood came out like a fountain, dyed red with the soapy white robe: "Treason and traitor, everyone will be punished" t1706231537:
